The Last Burn!
Sustainability at PIRATE Summit 2023
Measure the carbon footprint
In cooperation with PlanA we calculated the expected carbon footprint of PIRATE Summit.
The calculation shows that our total expected carbon footprint is 88.23t of CO2e.
The biggest contributors are the travel of our participants with 62.97t of CO2e and our catering with 13.87t of CO2e.
After we finalize our calculations we will compensate all of the emissions caused by PIRATE Summit.
More than just compensating.
At PIRATE Summit we know that just compensating our emissions is not enough. It helps to mitigate climate change, but for a true Net-Zero, we need to reduce our emissions where we can.
Therefore, we have launched a series of activities to reduce the emissions we emit.
Travel 62.97
Catering 13.87
Energy 2.16
Accommodation 9.10
Logistics and Waste 0.13
Compensation
We are compensating the emissions that we can’t reduce.
Last year, PIRATE Summit calculated a remaining carbon footprint of just over 90t CO2e. For good measurement, we compensated 100t of CO2e with Gold Standard.
This is our compensation certificate from last year.
Traveling is the biggest contributor to our carbon footprint
We already estimated the carbon emission of your journey and compensated them. But it’s always better to reduce emissions. Therefore, we recommend you to take the train when you are coming to our beautiful Odonien.
We created an account with DB and registered PIRATE Summit as an official event to make it easier for you to travel by train. Through this link you get the ticket for a fixed price, it will include the city ticket and your ride will be powered 100% by renewable energy.
If you are coming to Cologne from another country far away and flying is unavoidable you can help us by measuring the exact emission of your flight and compensate them with atmosfair.
Sustainable clothing with PIRATE.style
We try to be more sustainable in every aspect of our event. A good addition are therefore our t-shirts and hoodies from PIRATE.style.
All clothes are 100% organic cotton and have numerous sustainable certificates FairWear Foundation, GOTS, PETA, OEKO-Tex Standard 100, OCS 100 Blended, GRS.
Climate Tech on stage
While making PIRATE Summit more sustainable, it is also important that we include the topic of sustainability in our talks.
We believe that climate change is the biggest challenge we are facing as humanity, and we want to make some room for solutions and efforts against it.
